Enjoyable
I was super excited for this. This is the kind of genre I absolutely love, with that being said this was completely enjoyable, but lacking in many ways too.
The good:
Incredibly interesting, fun, and loveable characters. Each and every one had their own personality, and their banter together was really fun to watch. I really was invested with every character, and would love to see another film just to have more screentime with them.
The world building was also excellent. Not unique - it's been done before - but no one expected something new with this. The future was painted well, and it's a world I could see wanting to explore more in.
The visuals were great. Shakey camera was a bit of a problem, but the cgi was stunning, and that's all you want from a sci-fi movie in my opinion.
The bad (rather not-so-good):
Nothing sinful here, just things that were lacking.
The story. Average, the kind of thing that's been done a hundred times. Everything was predictable, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable, because I think the characters were so well done. Admittedly, they did seem to try and throw a lot of sci-fi tropes in there all at once, and that really did take away from the story.
The music. Completely boring, unimaginative. Forgettable stuff. In a way, this doesn't matter at all. But then I remember movies I watch again and again because the soundtrack is so fun, so minus points for this.
All in all, good movie. Not great. Just good. A sequal would be nice.
